Granted, the 10 pounds I’d shave off with the Liquify tool didn’t hide anything from anyone. I’d rush into Photoshop and use editing tricks to slim myself. That said, I would often have others stand in front of me, hoping to camouflage my weight. At that time, I committed to taking my own advice and getting in photos, both with family members and friends, and even solo. I still get emails from photographers saying they finally are listening to my advice, even if they don’t like the way they look in pictures, and stepping in front of the lens occasionally. I explained that your family and friends love you for who you are in the present time. Years ago I wrote a personal piece about getting in front of the camera, rather than hiding behind it.

Happily, you can also use this exact same technique to add color to a black-and-white image. Here's the before and after version of the image, along with the final Layers panel.Īs you can see, adding digital makeup is easy. Saving the document in PSD format lets you go back and edit the individual layers later. STEP TEN: Choose File>Save As and save the document as a PSD file. Finally, use the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders to tweak the color of makeup on that layer. Click the icon at the bottom left of the Properties panel to clip the Hue/Saturation layer to just one layer beneath it. Photoshop adds the new layer above the currently active one and opens the Properties panel. Next, click the half-black, half-white circle at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose Hue/Saturation. STEP NINE: To change the color on any layer, click to activate the layer and then load it as a selection by Command-clicking (PC: Ctrl-clicking) the layer's thumbnail (when you do, you'll see marching ants surround that area in your document). Here, you can see how the brushstrokes were applied prior to lowering layer Opacity and blurring. If adding multiple colors of eyeshadowâ”say, one for lower lids, one for upper lids, and one for the outer lid edgesâ”be sure to add each color on a separate layer for maximum editing flexibility. STEP EIGHT: Repeat Steps One-Seven to add eyeshadow, blush, etc. STEP SEVEN: Reduce the Opacity of the lips layer in the Layers panel to your liking (50% was used here). If necessary, use the Eraser tool to fix areas of paint that have blurred beyond the lip edges. This helps the new lipstick blend in with surrounding pixels. In the resulting dialog, experiment with the Radius to produce a very soft blur (4 pixels was used on this 1698×1131-pixel image). STEP SIX: With the lips layer active, choose Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur.
When you're finished, release the E key and Photoshop automatically reactivates the Brush tool (this feature is called spring-loaded tools). Then, while still holding down the E key, mouse over to your document and paint away the mistake. Press-and-hold the E key to temporarily activate the Eraser tool and, in the Options Bar, set the Mode menu to Brush and then pick a soft-edge brush from Brush Preset Picker (just like you did in Step Two). STEP FIVE: If you make a mistake, you can fix it with the Eraser tool. ISTOCKPHOTO, JACOMSTEPHENS, IMAGE #3391020 Zoom in and out of your image by pressing Command - (PC: Ctrl -).
Tip: Press the Left Bracket key () to increase it. Use a larger brush for the inside of the lips and a smaller one for the edges. STEP FOUR: Mouse over to your image and paint across the lips. In the resulting Color Picker, use the vertical rainbow-colored bar to set the color range (magenta was used here), and then click inside the large square to tell Photoshop how dark or how light you want that color to be. STEP THREE: At the bottom of the Toolbox, click the Foreground color swatch. STEP TWO: Press B to activate the Brush tool (circled) and using the Brush Preset Picker in the Options Bar (also circled), pick a soft-edged brush. Click OK, and make sure the new layer lives above the photo layer in your layer stack. Using the Color mode keeps the brightness of the tones in your photo, but adds the hue and saturation values from the paint you're about to apply, letting the details of the image show through (Overlay mode also works). This menu lets you change the way color on one layer blends with color on another layer. In the resulting New Layer dialog, enter "lips" in the Name field and then set the Mode drop-down menu to Color. STEP ONE: Open an image and add a new layer by pressing Shift-Command-N (PC: Shift-Ctrl-N). By applying the makeup on separate layers, you can easily fine-tune the results.
